In a world were oil is hard to find and were technologies have been lost, how make sure to power his vehicles ?
What are the best ways to power tanks, jeeps or APC ?
Trying to find oil ?
Bio-diesel or electric batteries ?
Personnally, I'd go for bio-diesel, but what are the best ways to produce it ?

Just one question.
Is any faction over there trying to renovate the system of previously existed railroads?
Sure, most important railroad nodes had been destroyed, but it's possible to replace 'em and get pretty cheap and effective way to move goods across land.
About wood-gas generator - it might work, but, as I think, only for NRF. Other factions don't have that big and spread forest.
P.S. Why not electricity-powered for Minerva? Batteries and solar panels to provide high operational range, for ground vehicles.

Minerva is electricity-powered, with batteries and solar energy mostly  |

There's no much wood in Faction 4 territories...
And how can we power batteries ? With wind electricity ?

And the energy of the sun. Do your faction it a lot. It is possible to collect not only solar panels, but also systems of mirrors, heating the coolant to the heat engine. Heat engine can be a simple steam engine or a Stirling engine.
И энергия Солнца. У вашей фракции ее много. Ее можно собирать не только солнечными батареями, но и системами зеркал, греющих теплоноситель для тепловой машины. Тепловая машина может быть простой паровой машиной или двигателем Стирлинга.

You're talking about a combined-cycle engine?
Ты говоришь про парогазовые двигателя?

Thats more of a way to improve efficancy than it is to create energy.

Well, thank you ! I really like the mirror thing. Stirling engine seems really cool. But in my territory there might be sandstorms. Do they cause big damages to the mirror system ? Because I think solar panels are too weak for use in such environment. |

I dont think turkmen will need much you could use wind.

The problem with electric vehicles is that they 1: require a lot of tech to build and maintain. and 2: have to be charged at a place that has good enough equiptment to not only have a charging station but a constant supply of power. and 3: use fuel that you will most likely not get off of a battlefield after a fight.
So i doubt that even if any of us could build or maintain electric tanks/apc's i doubt they would be worth it.

The Stirling engine is complicated to produce.
Solar collectors are a source of energy for industry, not for cars.
